ABOUT THE AUTHOR Robert Smith Surtees (May 1805 - March 1864) was an English editor, novelist and sporting writer, widely known as R. S. Surtees. He was the second son of Anthony Surtees of Hamsterley Hall, a member of an old County Durham family. He is remembered for his invented character of Jorrocks, a vulgar but good-natured sporting cockney grocer. About the Illustrator Henry Thomas Alken (October 1785 - April 1851) was an English painter and engraver chiefly known as a caricaturist and illustrator of sporting subjects and coaching scenes. His most prolific period of painting and drawing occurred between 1816 and 1831. He created prints for the leading sporting printsellers such as S. and J. Fuller, Thomas McLean, and Rudolph Ackermann. A collection of his illustrations can be seen in the print department of the British Museum. About the Binder Joseph Zaehnsdorf (1816-1886) apprenticed at some of the best binderies in Europe, establishing his own bindery in 1841-2. He exhibited at the London International Exhibition of 1862, where he received honourable mention. He also obtained medals at the Anglo-French Working Class Exhibition, held at the Crystal Palace in 1865, at the Dublin International Exhibition of 1865, at the Exposition Universelle (1867), at Vienna in 1873, and at Victoria and Albert Museum in 1874. The bindery prospered and became highly sought for its exquisite bindings, particularly after being granted The Royal Appointment to King Edward VII in 1901 (one year before this book's binding). Zaehnsdorf bindings" are sought for and readily identified by the collector of fine bindings. CONDITION REPORT VERY GOOD+ condition. Square spine, firm hinges and joints, tight pages.
